    Avoid this salon at all costs. I had an awful experience at this salon. The technician who worked on my pedicure clearly had no experience and was completely incompetent. Instead of a proper cuticle trim, she aggressively cut and dug into my nails below the nail bed, causing both toes to bleed profusely. The other technicians tried to stop the bleeding by wrapping towels around my foot. Management was no help at all and instead blamed me for the technician's lack of skill. I had to leave the salon barefoot because I couldn't wear a shoe due to the bleeding. I expected a relaxing and professional service, but this was the complete opposite. Now I'm concerned about a possible infection. I managed to reach the owner later that day, but he was in total denial and also seemed to blame me for what the technician did.

    Exactly what I wanted!

    Woohoot! I couldn't be happier! I have found my "go to" nail salon in Miami. I was desperate! I called about four other salons and was beginning to feel exhausted yelping other salons in the Miami Beach area. I'm always skeptical because.. it's hard w reviews and I know it's impossible to make everyone happy. Regardless, I decided to take a chance and I'm so glad I did. Lorena was fantastic!! In my 20 years of getting my nails done. She is by far the most gentle! She is extremely detailed and exceptionally skilled in her craft. With her precision, you would have thought she was painting a Mona Lisa haha! I hit a The salon is clean and the team was very professional. Prices were a little more steep than what I'm used to in San Diego .. but it was worth it, no complaints here. My only tiny little gripe is that it took a long time .. a little over 3 hours for a fill and gel pedi.. BUT, Lorena was so good it doesn't even matter, like I mentioned she was extremely detailed .. so it was a win for me. I'm so happy, I will definitely be returning!

    I discovered Em Nail Salon in my adventures around South Beach. It resides on 9th and Alton on the West side of South Beach. I had previously tried a different salon in the area which I hadn't been too thrilled with, so I was on the hunt for a new staple nail salon. I had an appointment for 11am on a Sunday and arrived a little bit early. Even though business hours technically hadn't started yet (they open at 12pm on Sundays), the door was unlocked and they started my right away. My nail tech, Yasmine, was super attentive to detail and took special care to not to damage my real nail upon taking off the previous dip manicure. The previous manicure (done elsewhere) had been so thick and it bothered me, so Yasmine ensure to make them not too thick, yet still strong. My blue French dip manicure came out exactly as I wanted. Feminine, dainty, and most importantly natural looking!

    EM Nail Salon has been on a downward decline for a long time, but until yesterday's experience, I was willing to let it slide because this is certainly the most convenient nail salon for where I live. But the way my friend and I were treated yesterday was the last straw. We had appointments for pedicures at 11:45am, which were made and confirmed online (since no one at this place has answered the phone for months). Upon timely arrival, we were immediately met with attitude from the staff, who essentially told us that our confirmed appointments didn't matter. After 5 minutes of waiting, we were told they were "running 10 minutes late" and invited to come back in the afternoon. At that point, the staff became rude and aggressive towards us, blaming us and the salon owner for confirming our appointments at the time allotted, and saying "they don't control how the scheduling is done." Being on the receiving end of such unwarranted attitude and aggression was the last straw. And to add insult to injury, I received an email cancellation that my 12pm appointment with "Karen" was cancelled shortly after we left (not only was this the incorrect time for my appointment, but it was also seeming effort to further aggrieve the situation to change the tech's name to "Karen" when submitting the cancellation (in the system they claim not to control)) (photo included). I'd been a loyal customer of EM Nail Salon since they opened over a decade ago (to wit: my original review from 13+ years ago). It's such a shame to see a quality small, local business be run into the ground. I highly doubt I will ever return.

    I went at 6:15 pm and it was closed. The receptionist didn't even come out to say anything, she just made a No service gesture with his hand. On yelp says was open also they have a schedule at the door that works until 8:00 pm and they don't even bother to approach the door to say we are closed sorry for the inconvenience and close early. I don't understand what kind of service is this. I came from far away looking for this place and wasted my time. Fui a este salon a las 6:15 pm y estaba cerrado. la recepcionista nisiquiera salio a decir nada tan solo hizo un gesto de No hay servicio a lo lejos. como es posible en yelp dice que esta abierto tienen un horario en la puerta que funciona hasta laa 8:00 pm y nisiquiera se toman la molestia de acercarse a la puerta a decir estamos cerrados disculpen la molestia por el cambio de horario. no entiendo este tipo de servicio. vine desde muy lejos buscando este lugar y perdí mi tiempo.

    This is my favorite nail shop-Jennifer makes my nails look sensational every time. She is humble but she really is talented! Aside from the skill I also enjoy the atmosphere of the shop-very professional! 5 stars at everything: service, professional team, and very kind stuff. I had been tried several places before, and this one do the best acrylic.

    Gel mani and pedi
    Melissa C.

    This was my first time coming to EM Nail Salon and I had a wonderful experience. The salon was clean and they were taking all the extra steps to make sure everyone was safe. Dani did my gel manicure, gel pedicure, and wax. She has very great attention to detail and took her time to ensure the best quality of service. I am planning on being a regular. Thank you, Dani!

The oval shape was not symmetrical on either big toe ... But when I went to pay, suddenly the story changed. The same manager now claimed he had quoted the price for a manicure and not a pedicure! He wanted a base price of $10 more plus fees from the screen taking the money.... crazy! I stood my ground, but no one should be lied to like that. That is not how to make money.

    The worst nail salon experience I've had in 30 years. The…read morestaff was ill-mannered, aggressive, and insulting, and the service was virtually nonexistent. Anywhere else in the world, a basic manicure includes--at a minimum--cuticle cleaning, nail shaping, polish, and often a bit of moisturizing. At this salon, for $25, you get neither cuticle care nor moisturizer... and certainly not a smile or a relaxing atmosphere. To have your cuticles trimmed, you have to pay an extra $10. It's unheard of. And that's not even the worst part. When I simply tried to understand how they could offer half of a standard service for the same price as other places, the staff immediately raised their voices, constantly cut me off, and refused to engage in any discussion. Then, one of the technicians barged into the conversation and called me a "bitch"--right in front of my daughter. They also tried to charge me $90 for a set of tips with polish--no cuticle care, no moisturizing, nothing. When I asked for a justification, they replied: "Oh, wait--our mistake. It's actually $75." Even at $75, the price is completely unjustified given the level of service provided. In total, I paid $155 for: * a gel manicure for myself (with no cuticle care or moisturizing), * a pedicure for my daughter (same issue), * a set of tips, * and insults as a bonus. I'm not someone who complains easily, nor am I obsessed with prices. But letting myself be treated like an idiot in a filthy salon where the staff treats customers like cattle? Absolutely not. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
